    ETA - just re-read your post - so it's waking you up, not him ... are you a light sleeper or is he a heavy sleeper? I guess as for bub it would depend on who he / she takes after?....
    We're both fairly heavy sleepers, but usually I'll drift off to sleep first and be in a "lighter" part of sleep when his alarm goes off if he's working the early shift (up at 4ish to start at 5). If he's got his alarm on the loud setting like he usually does, it wakes both of us up.

    If he's got a later shift, I won't usually be woken by it at all, but he will. It all depends on when we get to sleep and when he's supposed to start. Don't get me started on how I feel when he works overnights!

    DD is in our bed with us as we co-sleep (she is sometimes in her cot) to get more sleep here.
    And yep pretty much when the alarm goes off, all 3 of us are up! Sometimes it would be nice to get up before DD but I think even if I snuck out real quiet she would still hear me She knows my every move.....

    We seem to have fallen into a routine where the baby and I are both up when DH's alarm goes off anyway. Might be a natural progression from having been woken by it a few times, baby soon gets into the three-hourly routine where feeds are at 6am (when DH's alarm goes off), 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, midnight, 3am etc.
    It happened with both our bubs, and now that DD2 is sleeping through the night, she's usually still up just before DH's alarm goes off... she's content to sit and play in bed while I catch a bit of extra kip (I'm a heavy sleeper so the alarm doesn't bother me), but if she had things her way I'd already be up and out of bed before DH is
